Perioperative infective endocarditis prophylaxis
From IDWiki
Prophylaxis against IE is reasonable before dental procedures that involve manipulation of gingival tissue, manipulation of the periapical region of teeth, or perforation of the oral mucosa in patients with the following:
- Prosthetic cardiac valves, including transcatheter-implanted prostheses and homografts.
- Prosthetic material used for cardiac valve repair, such as annuloplasty rings and chords.
- Previous IE.
- Unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease or repaired congenital heart disease, with residual shunts or valvular regurgitation at the site of or adjacent to the site of a prosthetic patch or prosthetic device.
- Cardiac transplant with valve regurgitation due to a structurally abnormal valve
